Saturday night into Sunday was when I started feeling like crap. Sunday night it was pretty obvious I was full-blown sick. This morning I woke up and had to force myself to go into work since if I take ANY time off whatsoever than what I already have planned there's no way I can take a vacation this summer. I did end up coming home an hour early and passing out on the couch. I'm feeling much better but I have this WRETCHED cough and I'm 99.9% sure it's due to my decision to smoke like a chimney Friday night. Good thing? The last thing I've wanted the last 36 hours is a cigarette... and I'm pretty sure there will be no miraculous upper-respiratory recovery in the next couple days so that will help me get through the rest of this week without wanting to smoke and this weekend we go with my in-laws down to Roanoke for some awesome Civil War learning!! So I won't be smoking down there around them.

I worked out 4 times last week! I'm really proud of myself. Did weight-training Mon and Thurs, and cardio Tues and Fri. I really wanted to go to the gym Saturday afternoon but ran out of time before my Dad's birthday shindig and unfortunately Sunday I woke up feeling like pewp and then even more like pewp today... hopefully by Weds I'll have recovered enough to make it for a workout. We leave Friday early-afternoon for Roanoke, but I'll be bringing my workout clothes with me to the hotel in case I get a chance to workout while we're there. I'm determined to get back to it as soon as I'm feeling better! I don't want to spend another month in exercise limbo feeling down on myself!
